Finite SN 3-Stage Stainless Steel Filters for Food Contact Applications

This new SN 3-Stage series of compressed air filters is designed to provide food contact quality air for food processing applications. These filters enable food processing plants to obtain various food safety certifications.

The SN 3-stage filters are for washdown applications. For non-washdown applications see the Finite HX 3-Stage powder coated aluminum filters.

Finite SN 3 Stage Stainless Steel Filters deliver up to 99.9999+% efficiency at 0.01 microns. These filters will hold up to the dirtiest compressed air systems.
The published guidelines and sanctioned Good Manufacturing Practices relating to food contact compressed air in food processing facilities call for filtration to remove any potential risks. Point-of-use
filters with a minimum efficiency rating of 5-log reduction or 99.999% at 0.01 micron help manage that risk. Applying these recommendations significantly reduces the risks of contaminated compressed air spreading bacteria to food contact surfaces, packaging equipment and the product itself. Parker Finite 3-Stage Filtration provide the best line of defense- protecting the consumer, ensuring a safe, cost efficient
production facility, and obtaining important annual BRC, SQF, and FSSC2200 certifications.

Parker Finite FGC Filters meet or exceed the current published food safety requirements and recommendations for food contact air.
• SQF
o Safe Quality Foods
• BRC
o British Retail Consortium
• FSSC 22000 / ISO 22000
o Food Safety System Certification

Three stages of filtration, located as close to the point where air directly or indirectly contacts the food, is the best line of defense against microbial contamination of food in a compressed air system.

• Remove all viable organisms at 99.999+% at .2 micron and larger.
• Remove 99.999% of 0.01 micron particles of oil, water, and dirt from compressed air and other gases.
• Low pressure drop.
• Continuously trap and drain liquids.
• Achieve commercially sterile air with 3-stage, 5-log reduction of contamination.
• SN model is constructed of Stainless Steel designed to hold up to the dirtiest compressed air systems.
• The 3-stage SN Stainless Steel filters are designed for washdown applications. For non-washdown applications use the 3-stage HX series powder coated aluminum filters.
